I just bought a tub of Lucerne's 1% no salt added Cottage Cheese.. and I honestly don't know what to do with it!! LOL. Any healthy recipes or what would go great with this? I never tried cottage cheese before! But heard it is good for you as well as protein. So any responses are really appreciated.. thanks!

I love putting fruit in mine. Peaches and pineapple is my favorite.0

I use it in lasagna instead of ricotta. You can lighten up lasagna significantly by using vegetables instead of meat filling and half the usual shredded cheese. It's also good as a snack with fruit (I prefer strawberries or blueberries).0

Most people add fruit... I just add a ton of pepper to it and I like it that way!! But yeah cottage cheese is loaded with protein. It has what is called CASEIN protein in it... It is a slow dissolving protein. Cottage cheese is actually the best thing to eat before you go to bed. Since it has a slow dissolving protein and it digest all night it speeds up your metabolism while you are sleeping and builds muscle all night when you are sleeping!I just bought a tub of Lucerne's 1% no salt added Cottage Cheese.. and I honestly don't know what to do with it!!

cottage cheese with fresh fruits cut up is delicious and filling. another thing is tear up some lettuce and put cottage cheese on it and then put cut up tomatoes on it with a little bit of pepper and it is great as well0

Call me crazy, but I just eat it straight. Yum. But I eat the full strength stuff. I don't know how the 1% tastes.0

I like doing what I call 'pizza cottage cheese'. I add some tomatoes (or pasta/Marinara sauce if I want to splurge) and italian seasoning. Or sometimes just italian seasoning...soooo good. It is also yummy to mix with cereal (if you like the sweet/salty mix) or with different seasonings :-)0

This is AMAZING. My favorite dessert!0 -
I make dips with cottage cheese. I usually mix 1/2 fat free cream cheese (4oz) with 1/2 cottage cheese (4oz), add any spices your heart desire and put everything through the food processor so it becomes smooth. For snaking I have portioned out thin pretzel sticks (1oz baggies) and dip them in my mixture (I weigh 1oz out of the container so I do not overdo it). If you like salty food it is a very satisfying low cal snack. Dont be shy with spices, it is fun to experiment (wasabi, garlic, curry etc....)0

Avacado for me (it's the highest fiber fruit) with some chopped tomatoes, finely chopped cucumbers, and a sprinkling of whatever kind of seeds (sesame, poppy, flax, Chia, whatever) appeals to you.0

Blend it with strawberries and agave nectar (or honey or maple syrup) and throw it in the freezer - then you have "ice cream"0

I love cottage cheese. I eat it plain with pepper. Yum!0

I like mine sweet so usually I add berries.
Once in a while, I'll make homemade chunky applesauce with cinnamon and top my cottage cheese with that while it's warm.
Or you can buy organic apple butter and add that in.
I also just like it plain with cinnamon and some sweetener.0 -
Try it....you'll like it!
